I almost teared up reading "King of Destruction Junior" I miss his dad so fukking much, watching him again for the Greatest Wrestler Ever project had me
knowing we can't watch him be an amazing Ace anymore.I really, really hope Daichi can continue to evolve as a wrestler, he still needs to improve a lot but Big Japan is the perfect place for him right now. I hope to someday watch him in a New Japan ring coming out to his daddy's theme, miss ya Hash

Those stats Love those projects. I only ever actually took part in one, a best of 04 poll Ditch did on the old DVDR board. Just so much work for a lazy man. ALMOST made a WKO list one year, but gave up on that too

I'm really surprised with the % of people that watched Lucha for their ballots. This list is gonna be all over the place and really interesting .
The only thing I ask is that Hash is in the top 30 and that Terry Funk is in the top 7. I'm gonna be pissed when I see Kobashi ahead of Misawa though.
